That is good to know bugs. Thanks for info i love my surf and turf also. It has been the greatest investment yet to candle making I think.

What a nice big space. Do a search on shops. There was one in here that inspired me awhile back. The person was prairie some. I can not remember the full name. She had antiques in hers and decorated americana. I fell in love with it. I just redid my shop something like hers. Mine is real small reception area with gift shop for my tanning salon. We also redid all the tanning rooms. You can see my rooms on my web site. www.americantannspa.com. the reception area is not on there yet because we just did it this past Sunday and have not took pictures yet. I wanted to get it all done for our holiday open house Nov 17 and 18. Good luck with the decorating. It is so nice when it is done.

I have never had my wax evaporate. It will last forever in my melters. I either throw it out or just ad fo to the wax to add more scent. I even sell just fo by the ounce for them to add more scent so they do not have to keep cleaning out the wax all the time.

I agree try less fo is 1/2 is too low then go to 3/4 oz. I use 3/4 in alot of fo that seem like a thicker fo. It does sometimes help the burn to cut back the fo alittle. good luck

I agree I love the soy. I have not used that kind but I have tried others. It is great after is get to down.

I also love the scented. this stuff is awesome. I like to use it just by itself.

Great xmas gifts. Love the colors.

Those are really nice looking. Great job.

Love the hearts. Keep that mold around for Valentines Day. Very nice bold colors too....

Those are really cool looking. Nice job.

Love the bananas in them. They jars are so classy looking to me.

That is so cool. Last year we had embrodered toilet paper. They sold really well. So if I scented them how cool is that. Great idea. I will have to try them and let you know how they turn out.

That is beautiful and the saying is awesome. great job

Those looks excellent. Very nice labels.

I like those. That would be great to have partnership. I wish I could find someone to make me crocks that I can pour candles in. Good luck and new friends are always nice. We never have enough friends.

I really like those. Very nice job.

That looks right on the money. I really like those square masons. I have not tried them yet with testing but that is on my list of things to do.

Wow I never thought of adding beewax. I think I will try that and maybe do away with the J50 that I mix in my soy. Thanks for the info.

I know what you mean about the retesting. I just really need to do this. I love the blend I make now but I get so tired of having to mix the waxes. I really want to find a wax that is pre mixed so I only have to buy one wax. Shipping is just so high anymore that it is killing me. Killing us all. Good luck with your testing.

Thanks so much for all your info. My current blend is 75 % soy and 25% paraffin so I think I will try and experiment with the perfect blend. I really like working with soy and the way they burn but I like the look of a creamier look to the candle. I really need a clean burn that is really important. Thanks you again for all your info that was really great.

Can anyone tell me the differnce in the KY blends. What is the difference inthe perfect blend and the Para-soy container blend. I currently do a mix of soy and J50 so it would be so much easier tobuy a wax already blended. Thanks for you responses in advance. You all are such great help.

Those are really cool looking. I would miss the scent thou.

I love the colors. They are probably even prettier in person. Picture never to justus

Very nice display of candles. I love the one for your bathroom but that would go in mine also. When you get tired of it just send it my way.. I still have never tried pillars. Someday.

Those are gorgeous. I would never have the patience to do those at all. Not in my things to do.
